LOA 34 was negotiated at the direct request of ACY pilots who had their base closed by Dr. Schorr in the early 2000's (after Sept11, 2001). The ACY guys wanted their base back and the new management needed some convincing that it would work. The MEC wrote that LOA with the expectation that management would see the benefit of having pilots in ACY again.
It worked, shortly thereafter, the new (no sense of history of Spirit Airline) management made ACY a full fledged base again.
Once again, you guys hate because of who made the deal instead of what the deal accomplished.
LOA 35 was directed by the NMB neutral as the way to settle hundreds of pay NCCs/Grievances. We gained a pay schedule that matched our contract and allowed pilots to more easily check their paychecks.
I can't remember LOA 37, please refresh me.
